This is a ridiculous story and an even dumber lawsuit. It is an effort to completely abdicate parental responsibility and sends a terrible message to the child involved. Whatever she does wrong is not her fault, but the fault of the corporation that "let her" do it. Seen from that angle, there are a host of potential defendants: the camera or cellphone company, the computer manufacturer, the telecommunications provider, the ISP, even the clothing and makeup manufacturers. I'm an attorney myself, and I have to say that this type of lawsuit makes tort reform look like a better idea.
